Seth Trimble Leaves North Carolina After Four Seasons, Enters Transfer Portal
Seth Trimble's time at North Carolina is over. The guard entered the transfer portal on Monday after four seasons with the Tar Heels, according to On3. This is a significant move for the Wisconsin native, who has spent his entire college career in Chapel Hill and now hits the open market as programs look to rebuild their rosters.
What Trimble Brings to the Table
Trimble's numbers this past season tell the story of a solid, reliable guard. He started all 24 games he played and averaged 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. That's the kind of stat line that makes scouts sit up and pay attention. He earned All-ACC Honorable Mention honors last season, which is a recognition of his consistency and play in one of college basketball's toughest conferences.

So he didn't even have a full year to show what he could do at full strength. The year before, he started 18 of 34 games and averaged 11.6 points with 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists. Over his four seasons at UNC, Trimble appeared in 126 games (45 starts) and averaged 7.7 points with 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
The Tar Heels Move On
North Carolina finished last season 24-9, which sounds solid until you remember how it ended. The Tar Heels, seeded sixth in the NCAA Tournament, lost to VCU 82-78 in overtime in the first round. That's the kind of loss that stings, especially when you're a program with North Carolina's pedigree and expectations. Trimble was part of that team, and now he's looking for his next opportunity elsewhere.
Trimble's entry into the transfer portal opens the door for other schools to make a move. Who's going to step up and bring him in? That's the question hanging over college basketball right now.
